Cole

I shouldn't have remembered him. He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all. But I could feel him. The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.

Salvatore: A Dark Mafia Romance

It all started with a contract signed by him, then by me, while our families watched. While my father sat silent, a man defeated, giving his daughter to the Benedetti monsters. I obeyed. I played my part. I signed my name and gave away my life. I became their living, breathing trophy, a constant symbol of their power over us. That was five years ago.

Anti-Stepbrother

He told me to settle. He asked what was wrong with me. He called me an easy target. That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks. I labeled him an asshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha. He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother's fraternity brother. Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.

Taking Turns: The Turning Series, Book 1

I've never been afraid of the dark...but that doesn't mean I wanted to live in it. Maybe everyone wants what they can't have, but I should've thought it over before I unlocked the door to their forbidden world. Number One is mostly silent. He watches me very carefully. Number Two is mostly gentle. But it's the other side of him I like best. Number Three is mostly reserved. It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That's it. That's all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden. I just didn't expect to like them.

Evil

You know that group of people in school that everyone fears? Popular. Beautiful. The in-crowd? That was my family. Kind of. We were above that group. We held court over everyone else. We were the best looking. We were the mysterious and elusive ones. Most of the girls wanted to (and did) date the guys, but they didn't want to be one of us. They couldn't be. They were our prey. We were the feared. But like every family, nothing is as it seems. That was my truth. Kellan was in his own league.

Buttons and Hate

The Devil's Eyes is a dark, intense romance novel.

-First we have smexy time... lots of it. From prostitution to down right romance(y) smexy time... and it was all so good!

-Then we have violence... real violence...like people actually die... not in pretty ways either...like when you are a drug lord or gang king pin... you're not really all that nice...so the violence was expected...and needed for this book!

- Then there was drugs, comedy, and guess what... an actual storyline!

Ok... I want me some NICK so bad... I loved this book.. I loved NICK... but what I really loved was how Kayla and Nick didn't just fall in love... and Nick kinda used Kayla in the beginning...

I totally knew something was up with Kayla's john.... because he got all creepy...but let me tell you... this story just flowed... I mean... I was like why is Nick doing this to her... is he crazy...then I was like...why is Kayla doing that...is she stupid... Nick is gonna kill her...and then when Kayla tried to kill Nick! OMG funny!!!

Look...if your a fan of dark romance, with violence and real life situations in it...well this is definitely for you... I loved every single morsel of this ...I so need the rest of this series like yesterday!!! It is a must for Audible to get the rest of this series... INSTANT DOWNLOAD!

Narration: OK... everyone who has read my reviews know I hate dual narration...but this was so good.. Like the female narrator did all the female voices and the male narrator did all the male voice... and they did it simultaneously... So let's say a conversation is going on... with multiple people... both narrators would kinda yell and talk over each other...like real conversations tend to happen, but you still can tell who is talking and what is going on because the narrators was so darn good!

AMAZING! Now if all dual narration books was like this, I would eat them up with one gobble! This was great...

5-STARS!

A total credit or sale book.. It is a bit pricey so a buy may not be your thing...it's well over 10 bucks...but let me tell you... It was worth it... I would buy this if I was feeling froggy... and really needed something good to listen too..

"good"

I really like the way this book was read. Really like the male parts read by male and female reads female parts. It really adds to the book. And you don't have to get through male trying to sound like female and female trying to sound like male. I wish all books were read in this way. worth a credit

"Addictive!"

If you could sum up The Devil's Eyes in three words, what would they be?

Dark, Suspenseful, Spicy

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Devil's Eyes?

When Kayla found out the truth.

Which character – as performed by Liona Gem and Blake Richard – was your favorite?

I can't choose between them. I loved both Nick and Kayla

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The darker side of life - one most of us never see and pretend doesn't exist.

Any additional comments?

Kayla makes it her mission in life to take the highly-powerful kingpin Nick down after her sister commits suicide, but the sparks that fly are highly erotic. This book shows just how closely related love and hate truly are!<br/><br/>Instead of a sweet romance with wedding bells at the end, Ms. Loren takes you into the darkness of an underground world which involves prostitution, money laundering drugs and more. <br/>
